KoRo operates a direct-to-consumer and retail food business across Europe with 2.5M+ customers buying online and through supermarket chains. The tech stack reveals a company in transition: adopting Tableau, Notion, and Slack while replacing Excel—suggesting a shift from manual processes toward data-driven operations. Active hiring in sales (15 roles) and marketing (10) alongside data (4) indicates a growth-led org prioritizing customer acquisition and channel expansion, while ongoing friction points around data consistency and platform integration (Akeneo + Dynamics 365) show the friction of scaling omnichannel retail.

KoRo is a German food brand founded in 2014 that sells natural foods, nut butters, dried fruit, clean-label snacks, and functional foods. The company operates a hybrid commercial model: direct e-commerce via koro.com and wholesale distribution through supermarket and drugstore chains across Europe. Headquartered in Berlin with 300+ employees, KoRo is managed by CEO Florian Schwenkert, CFO Dr. Daniel Kundt, and COO Steffani Busch. The product strategy centers on transparency, innovation, and category expansion within natural and snack foods, with ambitions to establish a pan-European omnichannel brand presence.
KoRo runs Dynamics 365 Business Central for operations, Akeneo for product information management, Shopware for e-commerce, Google Analytics 4 for web analytics, and Microsoft Office/Google Workspace for collaboration. They are adopting Tableau for reporting and Slack for internal communication.
Current priorities include sales and marketing strategy implementation, new product launches and market expansion, sustainable packaging solutions, influencer marketing campaigns, and building a scalable reporting model. They are also resolving data consistency issues between Akeneo and Dynamics 365.
